Somehow we have surpassed Thanksgiving this year. With the close of October, grocery stores and large retailers have packed away the scary costumes and completed fire sales of all the goblin and ghoul inspired candy bags. Out and about now are the reindeer and Old St. Nick himself.
We skipped a beat right over Turkey day itself. The only reminder of Thanksgiving is the anticipation of the Macy's Day parade along with Black Friday. In honor of Thanksgiving, below are the many reasons why I still love to celebrate the 4th Thursday of November every year. :)
- The food- it's extremely flavorful while being calorie free. YUM!
- Football!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Need I say more?
- Giving thanks for all we have
- A time for families to come together
- The first Thanksgiving story; hey, this was a highlight in grade school.
- Making turkey decorations and Indian hats...yes crafts are a must for any holiday
- Cooking with my mommy. When else can you happily cook for 5 hours nonstop with your mom?
- Leftovers....turkey and dressing never gets old
- Shopping... oh Black Friday, you make a great ending for Thanksgiving
- Tradition- Thanksgiving is tradition. Tradition is rare these days. This is one to keep alive.
